Hot X: Algebra Exposed!

McKellar, D. (2010).  Hot x.: algebra exposed.  New York, NY: Penguin Group.

     Full of math vocabulary, word problems, tips, and so much more, Hot X provides opportunities for math practice.  McKellar takes what might be a tough subject for young girls and attempts to provide them with simple explanations while providing examples and fun personal stories too.  I think a lot of what makes this book interesting are the short stories, and testimonials from girls that the author provides in between chapters.  The book is extremely informative.  I thought information was easy enough to read and understand.  I thought it would be something that my teenage daughter would like to read as much as I did. Great book!
